Yes, stupid. But this is Linux, not Windows. We can reinstall software while it is running for 20+ years. And when do you think I am working with the system without having at least one FF window open? 🤦♀️ 🤢 🤮
@HaraldKi, Snap, Flatpak and AppImage distribute programs from upstream developers with all dependencies vendored. If anything, they’re the closest thing to how software are distributed to Windows users (we use to joke that it’s what happened when they migrated over and brought their culture with them).
They also make patching security bugs system-wide virtually impossible as each program has its own dependencies. IMHO the only sustainable way of managing packages is to have them from your distro’s repository, even though some like Ubuntu are moving to Snap and ironically defeat the point of being a distribution.
@selea Yeah, fun to pay for something I didn't order. The benefits of snap lie somewhere outside of my experience, I guess. Of course I didn't pay for Ubuntu either, so its just me I should address my complaints to I guess. 😞
